Tom Lane 2330f4d3a8 Fix two issues in TOAST decompression.
pglz_maximum_compressed_size() potentially underestimated the amount
of compressed data required to produce N bytes of decompressed data;
this is a fault in commit 11a078cf8.

Separately from that, pglz_decompress() failed to protect itself
against corrupt compressed data, particularly off == 0 in a match
tag.  Commit c60e520f6 turned such a situation into an infinite loop,
where before it'd just have resulted in garbage output.

The combination of these two bugs seems like it may explain bug #16694
from Tom Vijlbrief, though it's impossible to be quite sure without
direct inspection of the failing session.  (One needs to assume that
the pglz_maximum_compressed_size() bug caused us to fail to fetch the
second byte of a match tag, and what happened to be there instead was
a zero.  The reported infinite loop is hard to explain without off == 0,
though.)

Aside from fixing the bugs, rewrite associated comments for more
clarity.

Back-patch to v13 where both these commits landed.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download/

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
